Revenue model

1. Donations and Annual Giving: The primary revenue stream comes from donations from EUSD families and community members. The Annual Giving Campaign requests $500 per family per year (less than $2/day). Donations can be made monthly, one-time, or recurring. Fully funded enrichment for every student costs $800,000 annually.
2. Event Fundraising: Revenue generated through multiple annual fundraising events including Foundation Cup Golf Tournament, Gala & Auction, Granite Bay 5K&10K, World Arts Fair, Derby Day Soiree, and Night at the Kings. Recent events have raised over $145,000 (Gala 2024), $45k (Fund Run 2024), and $40,000 (Golf Tournament).
3. Corporate Matching Gifts: Many companies offer matching gift programs where employers match employee donations to ESF. The organization maintains a list of 90+ companies that participate in matching programs including Apple, Google, Microsoft, Intel, and others.
4. Business Sponsorships: Local businesses sponsor ESF events and programs at various levels (Title, Gold, Partners in Education). Sponsorship provides marketing visibility to 3,000+ district households in exchange for monetary or in-kind donations.

Core offering

Eureka Schools Foundation raises money to fund enrichment programs for every student in the Eureka Union School District (EUSD), a public K-8 district in Granite Bay, California. Its core outputs are five program funding streams — Technology & STEAM, Athletics, Libraries, Music, and Site Grants — delivered to seven EUSD schools, financed through an Annual Giving Campaign (suggested $500/family donation) and a portfolio of annual fundraising events including a Golf Tournament, Gala & Online Auction, 5K/10K Fund Run, World Arts Fair, Derby Day Soiree, Night at the Kings, and Pizza in the Park.

Product overview

Eureka Schools Foundation (ESF) is a nonprofit, parent-led educational foundation that provides enrichment funding to the Eureka Union School District (EUSD). Rather than a unified software product, ESF offers a portfolio of fundraising programs and events designed to bridge the gap between public school funding and what students need to excel. The core offerings include five enrichment program categories (Technology & STEAM, Athletics, Libraries, Music, and Site Grants) funded primarily through an Annual Giving Campaign. ESF supplements this with signature annual fundraising events including the Foundation Cup Golf Tournament, Annual Gala & Online Auction, Granite Bay 5K&10K (Fund Run), World Arts Fair & Auction, Daigneault Derby Day Soiree, Night at The Kings!, and Pizza In The Park community welcome events. These programs collectively raised over $315,000 annually to support enrichment across seven EUSD schools serving elementary and junior high students.
